lol sorry. I mean I would like to extend the edge of my fender a little to gain some tire clearance, or to just 'expand' the fender so that it is bigger and stick's out more so my tires won't rub.

Front, I am an Autox guy so I have 17 x 11's on all 4 corners. Right now at stock ride height it is no big deal but when I get it lowered I know I will have a problem. I think it will need rolling and minor 'fender flares' but I was hoping I could do it myself. I am unsure of the cost of a shop rolling and/or flaring fender though.

hmm Didn't anticipate that... I might have to go to 275's then.
*Edit*
Most people are saying that 17 x 11's fit in the front without mods, I am at stock ride height and they only rub the plastic inner fender (which is removable) but I was thinking when I lower the car on strano springs it might rub the fenders that's all but if that is not the case then maybe I am worried over nothing. This blue car seems to not have any issues?

I run 18x11s with 315s on all 4 corners. I'm lowered a good bit and the tire rubs a smidge on the swaybar at full lock. No other issues other than the obvious following ruts and the like. I made a thread about it awhile back. https://ls1tech.com/forums/wheels-ti...s-94-bird.html

I'm pretty sure the 2001 dick harrell camaros ran a wider fender setup both front and back. I would try looking for a set of those, or possibly the front fenders alone. They could also be different fender supports that push the plastics out

I have a small rubbing problem with my 315's on my front plastic fender-liner. But I am at stock ride height and stock camber. The lt1 fenders might be shaped differently.
but similar to yours it would start rubbing at 1.5 rotations for me. It felt pretty bad trying to pull a u turn. Like dragging sandbags.
